Selling stuff rant

[TFOGGER]

If I am going to look at Gunbroker or Colorado Gun Market for pricing, I look at the SOLD listings for the item in question, or buy-now pricing. Like I said before, if I buy a gun from someone, and there is the slightest possibility that they will want it back, I will give them option of first refusal before I post it up, even free sh!t like wheel weights...

Time to time I do use gunbroker to find a price on a firearm. When I quote a price I inlcuded the buy now NEW price, the shipping, and the transfer fee. When somone quotes me a GB price its auction USED price, shipping I guess is free, and they have a friend who does transfers for free...

I had a newbie "low ball" me on an item I had listed for sale recently but he was at least polite about it. Asked if I would take (insert low amount here) for my item and I said "no thank you". He replied back and said he understood my not wanting to sell it at his offered price and said he hoped I wasn't offended by his offer. He wasn't trying to low ball me he just really wanted my item and that was all he had to offer. Can't blame a guy for trying to get something he wants can you?

That seems to be the premise of A LOT of offers lately. Way low but its all I have to offer. Its getting ridiculous.

Not really... some times that is actually the case.
Times are getting tight. So as long as they are polite about it and don't come back a day later with another "only slightly higher" offer, I would say its a credible but low offer. Take it or not.

Agreed. It never hurts to ask as long as your polite about it.

Seriously, the last 3 cars I've sold I'll have some idiot ask about a payment plan (they usually sound like a ghetto rat on the phone or type like this in email: "Yo, U take paymenz?").

Yes I do - just 1 though.

yeah Im going along with this.

"What da bottom Dolla yo."

as opposed to:

"Hey I know you are asking X, but I can only afford X- right now. I understand if you don't accept."

I am guessing if you did the Byte you would totally get away with it as we all know you fairly well.

I'm currently trying to sell a car, but the idiots I've delt with are amazing.

Who on earth allows a total stranger to make payments on a used car? Seriously, the last 3 cars I've sold I'll have some idiot ask about a payment plan (they usually sound like a ghetto rat on the phone or type like this in email: "Yo, U take paymenz?").

People that say "Sure, I'll come by and look at the car at 6pm" and then never show up, never call, never email ... unless its to email two weeks later asking if you still have the car for sale.

Then there's the guy in [insert shit-hole 3rd world country] that honestly thinks you're going to ship the car and the extra cash to his cousin in Florida after he sends you a 3rd party check for twice the amount ... really? That works?

I'm trying to BUY a car, and yea, most of them are 'American' but, bejeesus....

Did you replace the belts on it yet?

'Oh yea, my friend did that'

Uhm, well, do you have his name and number?

Oh, well, he was working at the shop, he gone now.

So, no receipts on servicing the vehicle? No mileage on the BELTS which MUST BE REPLACED EVERY (90,000) MILES OR IT COULD SCREW UP THE VALVES IF IT BREAKS??????


You can take a third worlder out of the third world, but you can't take the ....well, you know......


Like, 5-6 calls.

Yea, the 'white' yuppie guys: Oh, yes, I have ALL the receipts of when the belts, oil change, etc.....

Makes you wanna >>>>>>>>>> a libtard or 12 or ....100...
